Steering assistance during collision
risks from oncoming traffic
This sub-function can help assist a distracted
driver who has not noticed that the vehicle is
veering into oncoming traffic.
The function provides assistance by swerving your vehi-
cle back into your own lane.
Oncoming vehicles
Own vehicle
The function is active at speeds between
60-140 km/h (37-87 mph) on roads with clearly
visible traffic lane markings/lines.
If your vehicle is starting to veer from your own
lane and a vehicle is approaching from the oppo-
site direction, this function can help the driver
steer the vehicle back into its own lane.
DRIVER SUPPORT
However, the function will not provide steering
assistance if the turn signal is used. The function
will also not be activated if it detects that the
driver is actively operating the vehicle.
After the system has automatically intervened,
this text message will appear in the instrument
panel:
•
Collision avoidance assistance
Automatic intervention
WARNING
•
The "Steering assistance at risk of head-
on collision" subfunction is supplemen-
tary driver support intended to improve
driving safety – it cannot handle all situa-
tions in all traffic, weather and road condi-
tions.
•
Pilot Assist is only activated if there is a
high risk of collision – you must therefore
never wait for the function to intervene.
•
The function is not a substitute for the
driver's attention and judgment. The driver
is always responsible for ensuring the
vehicle is driven in a safe manner, at the
appropriate speed, with an appropriate
distance to other vehicles, and in accord-
ance with current traffic rules and regula-
tions.
